Growing up, I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to numerous different countries. These experiences helped opened my eyes to the possibilities that traveling and experiencing new countries can bring us.

I consider traveling, by far, the most rewarding way of learning. By traveling the world, you quickly learn that it’s foolish to put people into different categories. Instead, you realize that people of all different cultures have many of the same hopes and aspirations that we have. When you travel, you turn into a more refined and intellectual person, and you find yourself. Finally, traveling helps give us perspective. By gaining insight into how other countries operate and to see how other people live, we gain a greater appreciation for the things we have and can develop a better understanding of the world around us.

Throughout my life, I have been able to see so many beautiful landscapes, meet lots of amazing people, and make so many memories that will stay with me for my entire life. I urge you, more than anything, go out and explore the world. You will be amazed at how vast and diverse our planet is.
